QpiAI has released its Quantum Software Development Kit (SDK) as open-source software, seeking to expand access to quantum application development and grow its ecosystem of developers, researchers and enterprise users.
The SDK allows users to design, simulate and execute quantum algorithms while connecting directly to the company’s 8-qubit and 25-qubit quantum computers through its QpiAI-QCloud platform.
The move comes as quantum computing companies increasingly use open-source software to encourage application development and build developer communities ahead of broader commercial adoption of quantum hardware.
QpiAI said the SDK is intended for developers, research institutions, universities, startups and enterprise teams developing applications in areas such as financial modelling, logistics, materials science, chemistry, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and optimisation.
The software provides a Python-based framework for quantum circuit design, algorithm development and workflow execution. It includes state-vector and density matrix simulators, allowing developers to test applications on classical systems before running them on quantum hardware.
The company said the SDK also supports AI-assisted software development workflows designed to speed application prototyping.
The release forms part of QpiAI’s strategy to expand its presence in academic and research communities. The company said universities, research laboratories and educational institutions adopting the SDK will be eligible to participate in its Academic & Innovation Network, which provides access to institutional cloud computing programmes.
“India is entering a defining decade for quantum technologies, and open-source software will be critical to building the talent, research, and innovation base that national leadership requires,” Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Nagendra Nagaraja said in a statement.
He said the company aims to encourage developers, startups and universities to build applications on quantum infrastructure while supporting the growth of a globally competitive quantum ecosystem.
Lakshya Priyadarshi, Vice President of Quantum Platforms and Solutions at QpiAI, said wider access to software tools would help accelerate quantum application development.
“The QpiAI Quantum SDK is a practical bridge between quantum theory, simulation, real hardware and industry applications,” he said.
The company said the release also complements the objectives of India’s National Quantum Mission, which aims to strengthen the country’s capabilities in quantum computing and related technologies through research, infrastructure and workforce development.
Headquartered in Bengaluru, QpiAI operates offices in Helsinki, Milpitas, California, and Singapore. The company develops quantum computing systems spanning hardware, software and cloud infrastructure.
The open-source release comes as governments and technology companies invest heavily in quantum computing, with software platforms increasingly viewed as a key component in expanding the developer base and accelerating the commercial use of quantum technologies.
